I got the bottle brush mainly for my kid’s water bottle cleanings. It has a very nice sturdy wooden handle and rigid wire, so it doesn’t bend and give in too much when trying to reach hard to scrub areas. The bristles are soft enough not to scratch, but firm enough to ensure things are scrubbed properly. I feel much more confident that my bottles are getting clean. With cheaper brushes, I often feel like I’m wasting my time and not making any progress with flimsy material.
Because of the natural materials, it looks and smell very nice and doesn’t give off any unpleasant odor like plastic ones often due. It may just be in my mind, but it feels nicer to know I’m not scraping plastic around in our drinking bottles.
This is a very high quality product and a very charming item to look at in my kitchen.
I love this brush kit to upgrade our kitchen's sustainability, plus they look nice! Everything works well and has been a great set of alternatives to grocery store plastic sponges. My partner especially loves the hard bristled bamboo brush for tackling our cast iron!
Thank you for a super fast deliver, personal note, and a great product! We love our dish soap because septic system friendly and NO plastic!
My first time ordering from zero waste, everything went smoothly with order and product was exceptional.
I ordered several brushes and provided to friends who had positive feedback.
Thanks!
...before 3M invented green scrubbies made of plastic (that disintegrates into the environment), my grandparents used a copper metal scrubber. They worked great, didn't collect dish grease, and don't scratch your stainless pots or pans. This is that scrubber. Wears like the copper it is made of. Lasts a long time.
I love this gentle and very lightly scented soap. I liked the amount of lather and my skin felt great after using.
We do not miss the plastic nail brushes, they are not good for the environment nor do they stand the test of time. We already use the kitchen brush and when we placed a recent order, I looked at other products being offered and decided to try these out.
They look sturdy and we feel good about this purchase.
We purchased this type of product from another company in the past. We didn’t miss the smelly sponge or washcloths at the sink. This lasted a long time, but the company was no longer able to get the replacement heads. So, I set the handle aside. Recently, I found zero waste outset and ordered the replacement heads.
I am so pleased to be back in business again. Quick delivery and reasonable pricing will keep me a customer for a long time. Thanks.
After a couple weeks of daily use (mostly with the charcoal, too), I am amazed. No stink! No weird smells! No stains! Glides on and leaves just a tiny pastey residue. I am impressed that as a nurse and as someone who walks all over town in summer temperatures, I can sweat so much without a smell. I have tried a half dozen natural deodorants and this one was by far the most impressive.
I was doubtful of the scrub brush but after a couple weeks, I actually use it a lot! The heavy duty bristles are great and clean very quickly and effectively Seems easy to replace the head, too. I definitely agree that you should HANG TO DRY, it will dry completely that way.
The soap is impressive. Very easy to use with the brushes, cleans immediately, no residue, and also the method doesn't waste any soap. I think my block will last me awhile!
I really like this brush for my cups and glasses. Definitely gets them clean. It's a little too large for a steel water bottle though. The bottle brush is just a longer version (works just as well), but it's also too large to fit a water bottle.
Definitely second the recommendation to HANG TO DRY, otherwise it may mold. But hanging, it dries completely.
I actually came to this site looking for a plastic free "soap-dispensing" brush system, and I am hooked! Love this brush! It is angled correctly to scrub, and the heavy duty bristles have done their job. A couple bristles fell out in my initial use but none in the couple weeks since. Seems easy and economical to replace the brush head too.
I definitely second their recommendation to HANG TO DRY. I would be worried about mold just leaving it lying around. Not worried with hanging it.
Never going back to regular laundry detergent. Ever. I've struggled for years with the combination of harsh soaps and useless soaps and jugs of plastic. I have used this for several loads now and it gets everything clean, soft, and smelling very nice (but not at all abrasive or overpowering)!! Super easy to make & mix & use in a Mason jar w/ measurement markings and a regular kitchen tablespoon. It could be a year+ before I need another bar - extremely economical and plastic free!! My mom wants to try this too.
I love these little wooden dishes. I have 4 of them for various uses and they're great. The shampoo & conditioner bars do stick to them, but it's very easy to pry off.
This is a bit small for a regular size straw - the bristles aren't going to touch all the sides at once like a pipe cleaner. But it works for the straws I have.
I have tried a conditioner bar before and wasn't impressed. After a couple weeks using this one, I can say it does actually condition - I have waist length, thick, fine, wavy hair and it makes it feel nice and soft after a shower and when dry. It isn't as good as liquid conditioner for coating strands for detangling when wet - needs 2-3 applications - but it's maybe 3 minutes more time.
My only real reservation is that there is no scent. I have a keen snifter (can always smell the scent on everything) and this & the citrus shampoo bar are the first "scented" products I've owned that actually have no scent. Not a big deal to me though, I typically use scent free anyway.
When I ran out my first package of these tooth tabs, I missed them when I had to use toothpaste. So, I bought three packages of these Unpaste tabs and shouldn't run out for a while. :)
Good product, works well.
Goes on smooth, light, and doesn't feel thick but definately moisturizes. I love the Earl Grey and have told all my friends about it!
